He was making reference to my new Accuquilt cutter (which I got at Amazon at what I thought was a large discount over the listed price). He considered it over-priced even at that (and also plastic and flimsy),no man would buy it. I was reading about over-priced magazines and wondered if we really are exploited, what can we do about it?
Has he ever priced a golf club??? It can be hundreds of dollars - for what - a couple ounces of metal? And then greens fees! You can buy that accucut and some dies for what it would cost a foursome for 18 holes of golf some places. And MEN are everywhere on them! How about a hunting rifle that they use - what - once or twice a year?? If they get a shot off!! Unless they do A LOT of home projects, I'll bet that shop equipment is a pretty penny - per use! And the sports jerseys you see everywhere. Priced them at Christmas - I'd say OVERPRICED, and yet - men everywhere wear them. So, I have to say, he was just saying HE wouldn't buy it - but I'll bet he has some of the overpriced stuff men DO buy! Am I right? :)
